Smile Before Debadging, here are the 2014 X3 35i M-Sport Photos....

I plan to debadge tomorrow, here she is before I remove them....

Anyone know how that rear cargo net attaches, I found the top lock-in points but not the bottom lock-in points.

Anyhow, hope you enjoy! It's such a great car, and the order was perfect this time around!

The four big changes from my 2012 to my 2014 are the more colorful head up display, the much much better 4.2 Navigation system and the Full Black Panel display with the 10" multi-info lcd display.

I must say, the DHP is a must have on this ride, it truly transforms the ride.

Also, BMW Changed the rear view mirror garage controls, the light for the buttons now located inside the mirror itself and the buttons depress softer. It's definitely different and I like it.

It is really easy, I do it with all of my cars. You just heat the letters with a blowdryer on medium heat, usually about 6-7 inches away from the letters/badges, and for about a minute and a half, or until it's really hot, enough to get the glue super soft. Then take the dealer plastic plate (in my case, the shelly bmw plastic) and wiggle it up from the bottom, they come right off. Much better look.

You use the tie downs that slide into the rails. The tie downs are under trunk storage cover.

Yes that's how it is. It's not really visible unless you go and look underneath. Wouldn't be noticeable on a dark color

Need a pair of xDrive emblems

I need a pair of xDrive emblems to put on my WeatherTech floor liners. I wanted to get the BMW branded version from the dealer, but they don't make them for my xDrive car. Therefore I had to buy from WeatherTech (same price as the BMW dealer) and those come with a WeatherTech label. I want to take the WeatherTech label off and stick on the xDrive badge, like the BMW version.

Does anyone have a pair from a de-badge?
